Title: Determination of lithography effective dose uniformity
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER FREDERICK ROBINSON
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2018-06-11
Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method and system for determining effective dose of a lithography tool. The method includes performing a series of open frame exposures with the lithography tool on a substrate to produce a set of controlled exposure dose blocks in resist, and then baking and developing the exposed substrate. The method further includes scanning the resultant open frame images with oblique light and capturing the light scattered from the substrate surface. The method further includes creating a haze map from the background signal of the scattered light data, converting the haze map to a graphical image file, and analyzing the graphical image file to determine effective dose of the lithography tool, wherein a brightness of the graphical image file is related to effective dose of the lithography tool.

Title: Improvements to multi-carrier MIMO systems
Inventor: ANAS AL RAWI
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2021-01-28
Abstract: There is herein provided a method of processing a MIMO signal using multi-carrier modulation, such as OFDM. Channel state information (CSI) is measured for a communications channel in relation to a first tone, the first tone being a component tone of the MIMO signal. A second tone is then precoded using the measured CSI of the first tone. The second tone is also a component tone of the MIMO signal. Preferably, a precoding matrix is calculated from CSI for the first tone and the same precoding matrix is applied to both the first and second tones. The first and second tones may be adjacent tones. The re-use of CSI in this way reduces the number of channel measurements and processing computations required.

Title: Tile Region Protection using multiple GPUs
Inventor: IAN BEAUMONT
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2021-04-19
Abstract: Performing tile-based rendering of a scene (e.g. vehicle instrument cluster) that comprises safety related elements (e.g. primitives), comprises each of a plurality of graphics processing units (GPUs) (200a, 200b) receiving tile data identifying protected tile(s) (112s) (e.g. from a geometry processing phase), each protected tile comprising part of a safety related primitive (P0, P2). Two respective sets of the protected tiles are processed (202) (e.g. fragment processing phase), and based on the processing two respective checksums are generated (602), one for each respective set, wherein each set is mutually exclusive and is processed by two different GPUs, and wherein each protected tile is processed by two different GPUs. Checksums pair(s) are compared, each pair comprising a respective checksum generated based on a same respective set of protected tiles and generated by a different GPU. Actions (e.g. generation of a fault signal) are performed based on the outcome of the comparison. Dual or multiple GPUs (e.g. cores) therefore perform the fragment processing phase of tile rendering, avoiding permanent errors by processing all protected tiles by two different GPUs.

Title: System and Method for Positioning
Inventor: James Etherington
IPC: G01S5/00
Filed: 2022-06-10
Abstract: A computer implemented method for estimating the position of a movable device T in an environment at a required time. First observations are taken by first sensors at various times between the device and plural distributed anchors A, B, C having known positions in the environment. The sensors detecting the strength, time of flight, phase, angle of arrival or departure of the signals detected. For each observation taken at a time point within a time window around the required time, the range and/or angle from the device to the anchor is estimated. The displacement of the device is estimated between the time each observation was taken and the required time, the displacement estimation being based on second observations taken by second sensors. To determine the position of the movable device at the required time, the position of the anchors is adjusted by the displacement so as to compensate for the effect of the motion of the device (fig 5e). The position of the device at the required time is the calculated based on the ranges and/or angles from the device to the anchors for each observation and the corresponding adjusted anchor positions.
